The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated on the night of this Saturday, the 31st, that he has no plans to meet with the senator and defeated candidate in the Brazilian presidential elections, Flávio Bolsonaro (PL). He emphasized, however, that the senator may stay in the country “for as long as he wants.”
“I have no plans to meet with him, but he was treated in a petty manner,” said the Republican during the annual Halloween party held at the private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. “The election was a disaster, in my opinion. He can stay here for as long as he wants.”
Earlier on Saturday, the U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, stated that the United States did not facilitate Flávio’s escape, arguing that he already had a guaranteed visa and that Trump had made the decision to allow him entry into the country.
He also said that Trump had made clear that, if Flávio reached a U.S. border checkpoint, he would receive a ‘parole’ authorization to remain in the country for humanitarian reasons.
